How do you replace the battery terminal clamp on 2000 dodge ram 2500 (diesel)?

If you have enough slack in the cable, you should be able to solder another terminal end onto the cable. I'm assuming your replacing the positive terminal, the one with the two wires going into the end.

1. Read all the instructions before you start, and if you have any questions feel free to E-mail me. Good Luck

2. Check the cable size by looking along the cable run and recording all the printed info you can see. This info will be invaluable when you go to the parts store for a replacement terminal. Don't forget to allow enough room for the second wire in the new terminal, it doesn't have to fit tight, if you don't have rosin core solder in your toolbox you'll need some. After you find the replacement, remember to buy a piece of heat shrink tubing to seal the terminal and minimize corrosion in the future.

2. Remove the battery, you will be using flame to solder the terminal and batteries are capable of exploding.

3. Get a firm grip on the terminal with a vice grip or something that is heat resistant. Measure the end of the old terminal so you can figure how much insulation to strip off the cable, only leave 1/4" excess sticking out of the terminal. Remember, to put the heat shrink tubing on the cables before you start soldering and to position it so the heat from soldering does not reach it. 12-18 inches should do.

4. Heat the terminal while keeping the solder in the terminal where the cable will fit. When the hole is full, stick the stripped

cables in the solder until the solder sets up. Do this

somewhere the hot solder spilling out of the terminal does not melt anything, wiring, or plastic parts.

honestly if you don't replace the whole cable on that one you will have more problems from it those temporary clamps are just for temporary use ,not permanent and they wont last long at all,your best bet is to get a new cable for it,any parts store will have this,and some parts stores will custom make one to the length you need it,good luck on it.
